This document summarizes the results of a 2013 cloud and IT metering survey. 205 organizations responded to questions about their cloud usage, infrastructure, spending expectations, and concerns. Key findings include that most use public IaaS for test/dev and production, with cost savings and flexibility as top benefits. Private cloud is used more for production, with flexibility and cost savings as top benefits. Spending on both public and private clouds is expected to increase in 2013 for most respondents. Security is a top concern for both public and private clouds. IT metering is used by 39% primarily through on-premise or custom applications to optimize costs and efficiency.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

14. What is IT metering?
IT metering is the process of gathering and analyzing IT infrastructure consumption, just like
metering electric utility consumption with a meter today. IT metering enables organizations
to optimize costs and operational efficiency by:
• Normalizing IT resource consumption data from all infrastructure into one single unit
of measure regardless of the location, operating systems, hypervisors, or cloud
platforms for comprehensive, apples-to-apples analysis
• Identifying over-provisioned hardware and opportunities to eliminate waste
• Pinpointing optimal utilization rates to save money and improve operational efficiency
• Classifying workloads and matching them with the appropriate type of IT
infrastructure
